Preliminary Study on Detecting Atmospheric Rainfall by Rain Attenuation from Ku-band Satellite Telecommunication System
on the basis of studying rain attenuation of Ku band microwave for satellite telecommunication systems
bravely envisages in an inverse way
to collect the weather information from this kind of atmospheric interference by making use of rain attenuation to detect rainfall in the atmosphere.The way is
turn over the processing to the positive problem that resolves the Ku wave rain attenuation
make use of the amount of Ku wave rain attenuation measured actually and the method to predict rain attenuation
calculate the rainfall rate
and obtain the total amount of liquid water through the electric wave propagation slant-path in atmosphere.On basis of this research
Ku wave band Satellite Telecommunication Systems(SaTS) will become a Ku-band passive bistatics Radar system at the same time to detect Atmospheric rainfall
and even develop the role of "the kill two birds with one stone".It has important practical meaning.Just like GPS/MET
this research would develop as SaTS/MET.Collecting the information of atmosphere
ocean
space from the interference error of other electro-magnetic waves applied technique
could find a new way thinking of and important paths for developing the remote sensing techniques
and opening up the Earth space information resources widely.
